Delhi Sapphires (pics from india)
 
it's been almost 3 days since i last ate or breathed in delhi, and i still suffer from some kind of food poisoning or something... i'm tellin ya, if you wanna lose weight- india is the place to go, the veiaty of bad food and lack of basic hygiene is endless. my skin is still decorated with bruises and bedbugs bites, and i reckon this was my last visit to the 3rd world. if this was a test, then i passed it succesfuly, yet it doesn't mean i wanna be tested again anytime soon. if you ask how justified all this hardship was, look at the view from my window in Kasol:
